Nothing like a little bit of 80s synth pop to help me along on my morning walk. A quick step here, a side kick there.

It’s so nice outside I could have done a bbq, instead it’s going to be pulled pork and apple cobs with Mac n Cheese on the side for a healthy late lunch

Doing pulled pork this weekend and I need some Muscovado sugar for the rub. Found this in the back of the cupboard. I bought this in Beckenham when we lived there 7 years ago. It still feels moist (great word) in the bag, so that’ll do nicely.

Plastic straws for the win. It’s like living in a 2000AD comic book.

Made pizza toast for the lols, and the funny thing is that it’s a bit like Findus French Bread Pizza, a GenX staple back in the day 🤣

Put the TV on this morning while making breakfast to be greeted by #Milkshake on Channel 5. This used to be a regular when the children were small, I almost settled down to watch #peppapig

More Christmas leftovers, this time the unfortunate liqueurs, just a couple of errant chocolates, best not to waste them, eh?

Am I the only one still finishing off Christmas leftovers? Today it’s mulled wine? Ready made and microwaved, just like the heathen I am. #christmasleftovers

I got back into Mac’s when Apple released the Macmini. Bring your own mouse and keyboard was the strapline. Such a great machine. Since then I’ve been through the iterations, all good, but the latest, the M4, is something else. Such a small form factor, and plenty powerful enough for my needs.

Got the kids a PS5 Pro for Christmas and it is terrific. However, my eldest asked if she could buy a Nintendo Wii with her Christmas money so I found her one on eBay which got delivered today. Both children are having a load of fun with bowling. Funnily enough I sold our original Wii back in 2020

I watched Leon last night. The last time I saw it was back in the 90s. I always remembered it as a fantastic movie but after watching it again last night I’m convinced it’s a masterpiece. A young Natalie Portman and of course Gary Oldman performances standout, as does Jean Reno. What a movie.
